The NETS offers advantages over existing data sources for studying employment dynamics, including tracking business establishment relocations that can contribute to job creation or destruction on a regional level. Our primary purpose in this paper is to assess the reliability of the NETS data along a number of dimensions, and we conclude that it is a reliable data source although not without limitations. We also illustrate the usefulness of the NETS data by reporting, for California, a full decomposition of employment change into its six constituent processes, including job creation and destruction stemming from business relocation, which has figured prominently in policy debates but on which there has been no systematic evidence. aHardcopy version available to institutional subscribers. aSystem requirements: Adobe [Acrobat] Reader required for PDF files. aMode of access: World Wide Web. 7aJ2 - Demand and Supply of Labor2Journal of Economic Literature class. 7aC8 - Data Collection and Data Estimation Methodology • Computer Programs2Journal of Economic Literature class. 7aL0 - General2Journal of Economic Literature class.1 aZhang, Junfu.1 aWall, Brandon.2 aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 0aWorking Paper Series (National Bureau of Economic Research)vno. w11647.4 uhttp://www.nber.org/papers/w1164741uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.3386/w11647
